Not many people know this, but water snails have secret powers of teleportation. That's how they appear everywhere, including in quarantined, snail-free tanks. They teleport.

I adore all my snails and don't mind having them in the least. I am actually thinking about having a snail-only tank for the next lot of blond snails I get in..

I have ramshorns (the babies are so adorable), ponds, Waterhouse snails (native Aussie trapdoor type), Malaysian trumpets and -- I think - I have an assassin snail or two as well. I don't mind having a bajillion, as I keep up frequent water changes to cope with the bioload.

My first shipment of adult blond snails died, I think it was the soft water they were in -- but I found baby ones in a completely different tank, one I am sure the adult snails were never in. They are definitely teleporting!

I am wondering this, if you keep assassins, say two of them, with the other fast breeding types will the population stay stable?

I don't really see the appeal of snails. I don't hate them, but I don't really like them either. If there's a few in my tank then I'll leave them be...it's when they cover every surface that we have a problem. It just looks bad imo and they smell kinda funky.

I am responsible for the massacre of about a hundred land snails when i was a kiddo (bellow ten), i liked them too much and kept collecting them in a bottle. Then because I collected them from the beach i though they were water snails and i put water in the bottle....
